Hah! My first case is over.

[Okla-homey]

...as a shiney new legal intern. Uncontested OK "marriage dissolution" (a/k/a D-I-V-O-R-C-E) w/no kids involved. The d00d didn't show-up, but he had waived his appearance. My client is happy. It's all good.
Woo hoo!

For the record, family law is the debbil.

That is all.

I had one of those, he won't show up deals too when I was clerking. Problem was, he did show up and it was a garnishment dealio. And, he was supa po'd. It got fugly.

I used to try to see how fast I could get out of the Judge's office on those. I think three and a half minutes was my record.

uncontested dayvorces aint the debbil. they are nuttin but bread and butter. ;) contested divorces, they are the debbil. ;)

You go with your bad self, Homey. For the record, my mom was out of law school for two years before she could bring herself to represent in a divorce case where kids were involved.

especially considering that if they really wanted to, they could do it themselves for about 10 bucks plus filing fee, at least here in KS.

Congrats!

I chose to go with PI and Insurance Defense....A friend of mine was stalked by a wacko father that was ****ed that he didnt get custody of his kid! Family law can get real nasty! You are a brave soul! :D

lol.. I imagine our Homey won't be practicing family law once he gets his legal eagle solo wings. Unless you go to a "family law boutique" firm, it's hard to make a good living off of generic divorce cases.

I see Homey working for the man, squashing the little people one case at a time.. being the mouthpiece par excellence for huge megagazillion corporate monopolies. :D

Back in my lawyer wantin' to bein' days it was sorta a dream of mine to become a corproate attorney for big business and squash the little guy.

I had fantasies of working for the tobacco and gun industries..Now I'd be perfectly content just to lobby on their behalf.

The NRA has a stable of staff attorneys who write amicus briefs all day. That and draft legislation for gun-friendly lawmakers. Just saying.

I've done 3 divorces. 2 of which were for the same guy. After each of them, I told myself that I wouldn't do another.

But Dad's friends had a knack for picking some not-so-lovin' wimmens. But, I swear, the last one was THE LAST ONE.
